Arsenal have reignited their interest in Olympique Lyon midfielder Yoann Gourcuff, according to Metro reports.
The Gunners have been targeting the player since long but never came close in signing him. The reports believe that after the recent comments made by Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas, the Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will now try to land his former top target.
The President stated that they will not be offering him a new deal and he can decide his future. He is a great player but failed to settle himself, said Michel Aulas.
The 28-year-old will be out of contract next month and the Gunners manager is now planning to seal his free move.
Gourcuff has not been impressive for the Ligue One side. He netted three and assisted five goals in 19 appearances. However, he is an experienced player, he has played for AC Milan when they were European Champions and also for his country France.

Arsene Wenger will now be keen to get him as an experienced attacking midfielder will be available for free next month.
Gourcuff will have to struggle at the Emirates as they already have several of stars for the attacking role. Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla all have been great this season.
